Trail Conditions
First day of Spring! Ride 3/20/19
It was such a beautiful day that it would have been a crime not to take a snowmobile ride with that endless blue sky. After a morning low of 8*F, I waited for the March sun to become my friend and break up the hard trail surface before setting out. Snow was getting nice and […]
